[fatcowxlive]

Guys what if we get Yunel Escobar from the new Rays GM

I think when you make a move like this you don't head into next season with a question mark at 2nd base. Lowrie would be a pretty good target on a 2 year deal. I like Deon Travis but you would like to have depth even if you think he could start for the team.

I've had a rough week: strep throat, lost my job, been stressing over a huge exam in my profession next week that I am not confident about. So the news of this trade was very welcoming. Thank you AA.

 

Lets go Blue Jays!

 

Good luck on the exam, and I hope you get over the strep and get a new job quickly... The trade portends good things in the future.

I could see the Jays battling for a wild card spot. Bout it

not going to happen. I don't even want him tbh. He is coming off an awful year even if you put aside what he did.

How can you say that in f***in November? You don't even know what teams will look like in April.

Wtf, lol.

[jays_fever]

Everyone should be calling to get a Jays Flex pack. Playoff tickets are going to be a bitch to get after 20 years of no playoffs.

 

I agree. I did the same thing with Raptors this year. It's even hard to get a weekend ticket without paying double the price

[bronson44]

Thanks for the kind words guys. It means a lot!

 

I hope you get between 78% and 84%. Good luck!

Wtf, lol.

 

Wait is that Navarro or Melky? I can't tell

[xposbrad]

Some people saying Shields

Some people saying Max

Some people saying Lester

 

WHO WILL IT BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Trade Dickey + Buerhle then sign all 3..

I was thinking of moving Buehrle to clear cash for 2 starters, but I don't think Dickey is really moveable for something valuable. Besides he won't free up much cash

[fatcowxlive]

Goddammit!

[L54]

Wonder what the Moogster thinks of this.

 

Was wondering the same thing

Well, I'm not sure why we couldn't work Shark out of Oakland, he most likely will get traded at some point this year. I'm sure AA/Beane talked about him. Trading Dickey/Buerhle aren't about getting something in return, they will be traded for very low end guys + salary relief. They are 35 and 40 years old. You can't expect to get any value back obviously.

I checked 15 minutes ago, and it still said Oakland... Guy is on the f***ing ball (little does he know, Gibbons is going to have him playing CF...)

Yesterday, Travis was #9. We got the best third baseman in baseball in a trade today, and now Travis is #8. f*** we made a good trade.

We can probably work something out for Kazmir but I have a feeling Shark is hard to move. Beane always seemed to have problems in trading/trading for position players vs. Trading pitchers. He'll probably try to squeeze as much value from Shark as possible vs. Kazmir given his history

Both Buehrle and Dickey provide positive value. There's no reason to dump them unless you're getting value. They're better in our rotation than all of our other options...

f***. Donaldson outside the coliseum over the last two years: .291/.380/.496.

 

I imagine his #'s will be even higher than that when playing in at RC half the time, since you could say general his #'s outside of Coliseum are based on roughly average PF and RC is not average.

[burlingtonbandit]

Best value out there IMO is the 20 ticket flex pack. You can get 4 tickets to the home opener (which if you sell, can make up the money the flex pack cost in the 1st place) and 6 tickets to Red Sox Yankees games. What I did last year was pick all the prime games like Canada Day and weekend vs Yanks and Sox and if I couldn't go sell them and get double value. When your a flex pack owner you can buy other tickets with no fees as well.
